Mail Merge to save each file separately

Post by winstein » Wed Dec 16, 2015 10:10 am

Mail Merge's function allows us to use an Excel file to insert date into a template, so I am wondering: what is the best way to save each record into different individual Word files?

Thanks for reading.

I'm not entirely sure how this question relates to Macro Scheduler. Could you elaborate?

Never mind about this one, I think.

Basically what I wanted to do is to save each Mail Merge document separately into files, but I guess I could find a way to do it if it's possible. Not sure you know what Mail Merge is, but it's basically combining the information in a Word Document file with data found in the Microsoft Excel file. Essentially it's like filling in the blanks, where the data in Microsoft Excel is used to fill in the placeholder portions of the Microsoft Word Document file. If there is more than one row in Microsoft Excel, then the data can be viewed separately.
